Synopsis

'The Funny Fair' sees the central character, Jester Bit, scheming and dreaming. Will his cunning twiddle stick lead him to, or help him out of trouble? What prompts a friend to swell and feel out of shape at a Hall of Crazy Mirrors? Three friends hatch a crafty plan ... This book has been specially designed and written to help young readers for whom English is their first language. It is ideal for ages 8-11. The entertaining, educational components of the Flitlit books help children to learn in and out of school. Along with helping to improve literacy skills, they aim to inspire a life-long love of learning, to engender creativity and to enhance social and emotional development. The surreal Flitlit characters flit about and float freely, depicting a sense of freedom and movement. This offers them a bird's eye view of their home plots, co-characters and the landmarks depicted on the map. These attributes complement the humour and flow of the language. Interaction is key to the core and ethos of the stories, involving characters that children can identify with within their own lives. The Flitlits interact by telling jokes, squabbling, scheming and plotting, involving friendships and rivalries. The central character, Jester Bit, is a scamp with a heart. His mischief brings about challenges and camaraderie that allow children to learn about compassion, empathy, teamwork and a sense of fair play.
